This is also why it is so important for us to love each other, seeing as how love is our best defense. Since love is what we need to combat all spiritual lies and darkness, then every time we love somebody we are fighting spiritual warfare on their behalf. Every time you love somebody you are building up their spiritual defenses. Because you are casting down every thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, who is love. Since God is love, when you love someone you are expressing God to and putting Him into their lives. This is the greatest act of spiritual warfare that you can do. Just love people. It's all God does, and it works.
Love is the greatest weapon we have. Christians, humans, everybody. As we saw in my last post, Be Loved, love is our own best weapon against all forms of spiritual warfare. Being loved tears down EVERY lie of the enemy in our lives. And as it is with us, so it is with everyone else. THIS IS WHY IT IS SO ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL THAT WE LOVE EACH OTHER AS WELL! BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU LOVE SOMEONE YOU ARE BEING AN EXPRESSION OF GOD TO THEM. And we all know that where God is, there is spiritual warfare won. Period! So loving people is the best and most effective form of spiritual warfare that you can do for anybody. I believe this is why Peter said in one of his epistles, "ABOVE ALL, keep FERVENT (hot, burning, glowing, fiery, vehement, impassioned, passionate, intense, eager, keen, zealous, and fierce) in your love for one another. " "Above all," he says, because He knows that it is our greatest weapon.
